    Abstract Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs) have been reported to influence acetic acid production during anaerobic treatment. However, investigations of the impacts of PAHs on the anaerobic co-digestion of waste activated sludge and food waste are limited. Therefore, the effects of PAHs on anaerobic co-digestion were explored in this study. Four kinds of PAHs all exhibited positive contributions to methane production, especially phenanthrene. Mechanism exploration revealed that acidogenesis, acetogenesis, and methanogenesis were improved in the presence of phenanthrene, and acetotrophic methanogenesis had the greatest improvement with 69.4%. Dominant bacteria and archaea related to acetic acid and methane accumulation were changed by phenanthrene. Moreover, extracellular polymeric substances, coenzyme F

    Abstract The influence of phenanthrene (PHE), a general polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon in waste activated sludge, on sludge alkaline dark fermentation for hydrogen accumulation was investigated prospectively. The yield of hydrogen was 16.2 mL/g TSS with 50 mg/kg TSS PHE, which was 1.3-fold greater than that of the control. Mechanism research demonstrated that hydrogen production and the abundance of functional microorganisms were facilitated, whereas those of homoacetogenesis were reduced. The activity of pyruvate ferredoxin oxidoreductase in the conversion of pyruvate to reduced ferredoxin for hydrogen production was promoted by 57.2%, and that of carbon monoxide dehydrogenase and formyltetrahydrofolate synthetase, closely associated with hydrogen consumption, was suppressed by 60.5% and 55.9%, respectively. Moreover, the encoding genes involved in pyruvate metabolism were significantly up-regulated, while genes related to consuming hydrogen to reduce carbon dioxide and produce 5-methyltetrahydrofolate were down-regulated. This study notably illustrates the effect of PHE on hydrogen accumulation from metabolic pathways.

    Abstract During proteinaceous waste valorization to produce volatile fatty acids (VFAs), protein needs to be hydrolyzed to amino acids (AAs), but the effects of the configuration of AAs on their biotransformation and VFA production have not been investigated. In this study, more residual d-AAs than their corresponding l-AAs were observed after VFAs were produced from kitchen waste in a pilot-scale bioreactor. For all AAs investigated, the VFA production from d-AAs was lower than that from corresponding l-AAs. The metagenomics and metaproteomics analyses revealed that the l-AA fermentation system exhibited greater bacterial chemotaxis and quorum sensing (QS) than d-AAs, which benefited the establishment of functional microorganisms (such as Clostridium, Sedimentibacter, and Peptoclostridium) and expression of functional proteins (e.g., substrate transportation cofactors, l-AA dehydrogenase, and acidogenic proteins). In addition, d-AAs need to be racemized to l-AAs before being metabolized, and the difference of VFA production between d-AAs and l-AAs decreased with the increase of racemization activity. The findings of the AA configuration affecting bacterial chemotaxis and QS, which altered microorganism communities and functional protein expression, provided a new insight into the reasons for higher l-AA metabolism than d-AAs and more d-AAs left during VFA production from proteinaceous wastes.

Moreover, extracellular polymeric substances, coenzyme F₄₂₀, and McrA gene copy number were promoted by phenanthrene, which was beneficial for the generation of acetic acid and methane. Overall, this study provides new insights into the role of organic pollutants in the anaerobic co-digestion of solid wastes.

    Abstract Alternative splicing is an ubiquitous phenomenon in most human genes and has important functions. The switch-like exon is the type of exon that has a high level of usage in some tissues, but has a low level of usage in the other tissues. They usually undergo strong tissue-specific regulations. There is still a lack a systematic method to identify switch-like exons from multiple RNA-seq samples. We proposed a novel method called iterative Tertile Absolute Deviation around the mode (iTAD) to profile the distribution of exon relative usages among multiple samples and to identify switch-like exons and other types of exons using a robust statistic estimator. We validated the method with simulation data, and applied it on RNA-seq data of 16 human body tissues and detected 3,100 switch-like exons. We found that switch-like exons tend to be more associated with Alu elements in their flanking intron regions than other types of exons.

    Abstract Alternative first exons diversify the transcriptomes of eukaryotes by producing variants of the 5' Untranslated Regions (5'UTRs) and N-terminal coding sequences. Accurate transcriptome-wide detection of alternative first exons typically requires specialized experimental approaches that are designed to identify the 5' ends of transcripts. We developed a computational pipeline SEASTAR that identifies first exons from RNA-seq data alone then quantifies and compares alternative first exon usage across multiple biological conditions. The exons inferred by SEASTAR coincide with transcription start sites identified directly by CAGE experiments and bear epigenetic hallmarks of active promoters. To determine if differential usage of alternative first exons can yield insights into the mechanism controlling gene expression, we applied SEASTAR to an RNA-seq dataset that tracked the reprogramming of mouse fibroblasts into induced pluripotent stem cells. We observed dynamic temporal changes in the usage of alternative first exons, along with correlated changes in transcription factor expression. Using a combined sequence motif and gene set enrichment analysis we identified N-Myc as a regulator of alternative first exon usage in the pluripotent state. Our results demonstrate that SEASTAR can leverage the available RNA-seq data to gain insights into the control of gene expression and alternative transcript variation in eukaryotic transcriptomes.

    Abstract Endophytic bacteria are generally helpful for plant growth and protection. Strain WSE01, which was identified as bacillus cereus, was isolated from the stem of Myriophyllum verticillatum and it displayed a high tolerance to Mn (1500 mg/L). The strain was found to be able to produce indole-3-acetic acid (IAA) and siderophores, fix the atmospheric nitrogen and dissolve potassium from insoluble K-bearing minerals. In hydroponic culture experiments, the inoculation of strain WSE01 significantly promoted the growth and increased the leaf enzyme activity in the inoculated plant M. verticillatum. Furthermore, the manganese content was increased by 36.4% in stems and by 54.7% in leaves of the inoculated plant under Mn stress at 400 mg/L, compared to the non-inoculated group. This study suggests that the strain WSE01 has the potential to be used as biocontrol and/or biofertilizing agents for application in macrophyte M. verticillatum and conduces to achieving more effective phytoremediation of metal-contaminated waters.

    Abstract Superfine sand in waste activated sludge (WAS) increased the uncertainty of anaerobic fermentation. Experiments showed that VFAs production from WAS was positively affected by superfine sand, with an increase from 2513 mg COD/L in the control (without superfine sand) to 3002 mg COD/L with superfine sand. A mechanism study demonstrated that the main factor responsible for the improved VFAs accumulation in response to superfine sand was acetic acid, which increased by nearly 30%. Further investigation exhibited that the process of solubilization and acidification were facilitated by superfine sand and the abundance of anaerobic functional microorganisms was greatly increased. Moreover, the activities of acetate kinase (AK) as well as the quantity of AK encoding gene were greatly promoted by superfine sand. The heat release during WAS anaerobic fermentation with superfine sand was higher than that without superfine sand (25.8 × 10⁻³ versus 24.7 × 10⁻³ W·min at about 70 min).
